Weaving silk is not something that happens in a day or two. Fortunately, Meng Han made a lot of money in the toilet business some time ago, and he still has some inventory, which is enough to support him in paying the expenses of underground mercenaries.
After that, you can maintain life in Huangsha Town for a long time, and you don't have to worry about the gold coins in front of you for the time being.
In recent days, Meng Han has been spending time in the textile workshop, never leaving. Of course, this textile workshop is also in the castle, very close to Meng Han's lord's mansion.
The elves are very trustworthy. From the second day after Meng Han and Sister Louisa reached the deal, they sent people to deliver a large amount of jungle spider silk every day. Looking at this large amount of raw silk, Meng Han was very surprised.
It didn't matter whether these were the previous inventory of jungle spiders or whether they were produced within one day. The important thing was that when he saw such a quantity, Meng Han's heart dropped. At least his own production test would never do it.
There is a shortage of raw materials.
racking his brains, Meng Han thought about the things that were produced in silk, and he just remembered that silk must be extracted by boiling the cocoon in boiling water. However, that is silk and this is spider silk. I don’t know if the method is the same or if the effect is the same.
Same. Fortunately, Meng Han had enough time to experiment and was not in a hurry. He just mentioned the method. As for whether it can be done, it still needs experienced hands to test it.
Fortunately, a few days later, Meng Han saw the silk threads that had been treated with boiling water. They were white, soft, and delicate, just like the silk threads in his memory. Unfortunately, Meng Han did not have any measuring tools at hand and did not know about these threads.
Is the strength and thickness the same as silk? However, in memory, spider silk should be more advanced than silk, right?
The next thing is to use these silk threads to weave silk. The textile technology already exists, but I don’t know whether it is suitable for silk weaving. Everything needs to be tested before the results can be obtained.
After Alice came back, she immediately got in touch with some mercenaries in Huangsha Town, and then quickly found people from the almost all-pervasive underground mercenary guild. After their introduction, Alice anonymously worked as an underground mercenary
The guild posted a bounty mission to harass Stormwind City. All these operations were carried out by Alice without ever leaving Huangsha Town, and they were all carried out through the agent of the underground mercenary guild. After what happened last time, Meng Han no longer
Don't worry about the people around you going out.
It's true that money can make a difference. The bounty is rich, the task is simple, and it is the best-selling job everywhere. Soon, Meng Han received a report from Alice, and Stormwind City began to be effectively harassed.
Meng Han was very satisfied. Cutting flesh with a dull knife was the most painful thing. Anyway, the quarry was in his territory. Although it no longer belonged to him, no one could accept it. This feeling must have been felt by Adri from Stormwind City.
Mr. Viscount An, you must be so depressed that you want to go crazy, right?
The other party had already killed someone once, so Meng Han had also stepped up their vigilance. The Elf brothers and the Night Elf brothers had almost stopped participating in training. They spent the whole day scouting on the outskirts of Huangsha Town. As long as there was any abnormal movement, they would come back immediately to report.
For the time being, Meng Han is not too worried about safety issues.
The dwarf brothers have continuously built five strong crossbows, and together with the original one, there are already six. Meng Han assigned two to Joey and Julie, and the other four to the elf brothers and night elf brothers.
In their hands, their archery skills are more outstanding, and they must be able to exert the power of the crossbow.
Just when Meng Han was gearing up to kill everyone with silk and watching the Lord of Stormwind's jokes, Meng Han suddenly received a report from Grace.
"What? Someone took the transfer document I signed and asked me to transfer the quarry?" Meng Han was extremely surprised. This was simply impossible: "Did Adrian send an army? Why didn't Gavin and the others come back?
Report?" Meng Han could not imagine any other good way to reach Huangsha Town under the blockade of the underground mercenary guild. Besides sending out the army. Do they have experts? With such experts, they would have been on the road long ago.
Destroyed itself.
"Call Qiao and Zhu and let's go take a look together." Meng Han thought for a while and decided to see it with his own eyes. Since it was discovered that silk could be made, the quarry immediately became a real building material. In the future, the White House will be used as a building material.
Meng Han is no longer interested in the origin of the quarry. What's more, even if those people occupy the quarry, how will they mine it?
With this feeling of watching a joke, Meng Han smiled all the way and followed Grace to the tavern in Huangsha Town. Outsiders did not have the right to enter the castle, only in the old city.
As soon as he entered the door, Meng Han saw a dozen guys who looked very tough at first glance. In the tavern, which was enough to fill more than a hundred people, there was a large area of vacation for these dozen people. People around him seemed to dare not approach.
However, the strange thing is that this group of people are scattered around, but there are two people sitting in the center, who look very elegant. A middle-aged man and a young man are each holding a glass of beer and sipping it elegantly.
"Lord!" Seeing Meng Han appear, the mercenaries here seemed to know that there was a good show to watch, and they all gathered around. Fortunately, they still remembered Meng Han's reputation for killing the sand bandit, so they bowed and saluted from a distance.
, but not too close to Meng Han.
Seeing the people around like this, how could the group of people in the middle not know who was coming? Besides, the magic robes they were wearing were easy to recognize. The middle-aged man in the middle immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face.
Come up.
"Lord!" The same bowing etiquette appeared on the middle-aged man, indicating that he was just a commoner, not a noble.
Meng Han just nodded and walked directly to their circle with the two maids, Qiao and Zhu. With such a posture, Meng Han must have something to talk about. Meng Han was not worried about the other party at all.
What kind of killer would they use? To kill a lord on his territory, unless he didn't want to mess around, even people from the mercenary guild would not dare to commit such a taboo, how to treat a lord in full view of the public.
After sitting down at the middle table that the two of them originally occupied, Meng Han looked curiously at the young man sitting on his left who had not gotten up, turned to the middle-aged man on his right and asked: "Where is this from?
My lord, do you need me to pay tribute?"
As soon as the middle-aged man heard Meng Han's question, he knew that the little baron in front of him didn't care about them at all. Although they were considered the strength of the mercenary guild, they came together with the Lord of Stormwind City to seize Meng Han's property, and they also wanted Meng Han.
Han greeted him with a smile, and Meng Han was not that mean. Although from a business perspective, the quarry might have been purchased from Adrian by the Mercenary Guild at a high cost, but Meng Han was definitely not that mean.
I believe they will know nothing about what happened. At this time, they also forced themselves into the middle, making it clear that they wanted Meng Han to look good.
"This is..." As soon as the middle-aged man started to speak, Meng Han interrupted him directly: "There is no need to introduce his name. I am not interested. I just want to know his title and why he can serve as my lord.
While the adults were standing, he was still sitting."
The young man's eyes widened, as if he was about to get angry. The middle-aged man on the opposite side frowned and gave the young man a sharp look. The young man immediately calmed down and stood up without saying anything.
He stood up, bowed to Meng Han, and then dodged directly to the group of people around him.
"Young people are ignorant, please don't be offended, Lord." The middle-aged man seemed to travel frequently and was very well-educated. Meng Han didn't even look angry at all for his pretentiousness. Instead, he kept smiling.
"Well, what's the matter?" At this time, Meng Han's face softened, he smiled when facing the middle-aged man, and his words became a little more philistine.
"That's it, sir." The middle-aged man clearly understood the principle of making money by being friendly, and his tone was very humble: "Our mercenary guild has opened a branch in Stormwind City, and we came here specifically to pay homage to you. Please take good care of me in the future."
Our business.”
"It's easy to talk." With such an attitude, Meng Han's face changed quickly, as if what just happened had never happened at all: "Taking care of business is a must."
"We learned that a group of thieves appeared on the road from Stormwind City to Huangsha Town. Therefore, we specially dispatched some guild pawns to clear this trade road for you for free. As our first visit, we would like to send you a gift.
A gift." The middle-aged man's tone and attitude remained the same as before, but the content of his words was more threatening.
Following the middle-aged man's words, each of the dozen or so people around him lifted a package at his feet onto the table and untied it. In a moment, there were more than twenty bloody hands on the tables around him.
.All the hands were right hands. The blood stains on them showed that these hands had not been away from the owner's body for too long. At most, it was only half a day, the time it took to rush from Stormwind City to Huangsha Town.
"We have eliminated all these thieves, and the trade routes have been completely opened." The middle-aged man's smile seemed to contain a lot of unexplainable things: "Also, our guild bought it from Lord Adrian of Stormwind City.
The ownership of a quarry happens to be still under the rule of your lord, so I came here specifically to take over it today."
"No problem." Meng Han looked at those hands and was slightly surprised. The mercenary guild was really powerful. All the underground mercenaries he hired were eliminated. However, Meng Han's face did not show anything strange.
, just said to the middle-aged man: "After we confirm one thing, you can hand over to my housekeeper."
"What's going on?" The middle-aged man kept smiling, but there was a lot of victorious flavor in his voice, and he deliberately prolonged the question: "Sir!"
"Taxation!" Meng Han smiled: "Have you all forgotten that the industries under my management have to pay taxes to me. Let's talk about the tax rate in the quarry now."
